Autumn Home and Atlantis Hint ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿก

Happy November! As we bid farewell to Red October (did you check out our delightfully devilish Hallowinners??), we’re ushering in a new look…

Home Island has pulled another one of its infamous switch-a-roos, and the landing base is now covered in yellow and orange fall foliage. ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ

Inside Adventure Outfitters, the shop floor is now offering some distinctly underwater inspired costumes and sea creature clubhouse props! Though the Pop Creators haven’t mentioned anything yet, we can’t help but wonder if this is a hint for Mission Atlantis Island, which had its first episode re-released on Haxe (desktop and mobile) for members the last time some of these items were in the store. One year on, is the island finally going to open to non-members?


Enjoy the latest fan art features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories, collected over the past couple of weeks. We’ve got OCs galore, a few memes, and even a sketch of the scary Red Queen!

Anyway, the deep sea isn’t the only blue tide lately! Catch some more of the beautiful blues in our Community Creations and Halloween costume contest winners. Sea ya in the next wave, Poptropicans! ๐ŸŒŠ

The Devil Wears Poptropica: Hallowinners of the PHB’s 14th Costume Contest ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ˜ˆ๐Ÿ’Ž

๐Ÿ˜ˆ Happy Halloween, Poptropicans! ๐ŸŽƒ

Hope you’re having a fang-tastic day! The time has come for us to announce the winners of this year’s Poptropica Help Blog Halloween Costume Contest, our 14th annual round.

Themed “The Devil Wears Poptropica,” this year we sought your spooky suits with a special twist: the costumes had to have something blue. ๐Ÿ’Ž And you delivered โ€” now here comes the petrifying parade!

๐Ÿฅ‰ Third Prize ๐Ÿฅ‰

1-month Poptropica membership

“Electric Beast” by HeartOfEnder

Check out this electrifying fit! HeartOfEnder dazzled us with this casual yet chilling combo, with a horned beanie and skeletal hoodie paired with powerful pieces of wings, a tail, and a lightning staff. And keeping with the theme, blue is a central color throughout the look. Striking!

๐Ÿฅˆ Second Prize ๐Ÿฅˆ

3-month Poptropica membership

“Boogie Bones” by Jean of Pop

Back from three previous victories in 2019, 2020, and 2021, Jean of Pop dances their way to the podium once again with this groovy getup from the underworld. While the pulsing cobalt afro definitely checks the box for blue, the rest of the outfit also weaves in some nice navy alongside some spooky skeletal white pieces. Snazzy!

๐Ÿฅ‡ First Prize ๐Ÿฅ‡

6-month Poptropica membership

“The Dokkaebi” by Magic Poptropican

What a beast! Magic Poptropican brings us chills with this dokkaebi ๋„๊นจ๋น„, a goblin-like creature from Korean mythology. Spikes abound from the horns on the head, down the back, and through the giant club it wields. Besides the peeks of blue, its bright red skin and piercing eyes also add to the scare โ€” a frightening fellow on par with Fairytale’s Rumpel.

Congrats to all the Hallowinners! In addition to the membership prizes, their outstanding outfits will be immortalized in our Lookbook. Enjoy!


๐Ÿ’Ž Honorable Mentions ๐Ÿ’Ž

We loved seeing all your devilishly delightful looks and just had to share more highlights. Plus, check out the PHB team’s costumes in the original contest post, and more entries in the comments there too! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ–ค


๐ŸŽƒ Happy Halloween, Zomberries and cherries! ๐ŸŽƒ

Pop Puzzles: What’s Missing? Round 5 ๐Ÿง

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dizzy FeatherEnjoy!

Brony: Don’t say no, here we go, off across the plain.

Hello everyone, Dizzy Feather here with round five of โ€œWhatโ€™s Missing?โ€ Here’s how the game works:

I’ll show you screenshots from Poptropica with a detail covered up, and you try to guess what the missing piece is. Leave your guesses in the comments of this post, and in about a week I’ll share the answers and shout out those who got any of them correct! A couple of rules:

  • No cheating! Don’t go in-game to the area shown to find the answers, and don’t copy someone else’s answers (best not to look before sharing yours). Not only would that be cheating others, but you’ll be taking the fun away from yourself!
  • Have fun! It’s just a game. Don’t pressure yourself to get them all.

Now that we’ve got that down, let’s start this PoptropiCon Island, Ep. 2 edition puzzle! You may need to click on images to view them in full.

So what’s missing? Share your guesses in the comments, and if you’re right, I’ll mention you when I reveal the answers. Good luck!


Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Dizzy Feather. If you did, you might also enjoy previous rounds of “What’s Missing?”: Round 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The Poptropica Help Blog welcomes interesting Poptropica insights from anyone in the Poptropica community with thoughts to share. Interested in writing for the PHB? Weโ€™d love to hear from you!

Mini Quests, Zomberry Island

Zomberry Hero: Back a Second Slime ๐Ÿ๐ŸงŸ

Hey Poptropican heroes โ€” the limited time special event Zomberry Hero is back with a similar dose of infected zombies to cure!

To get started with this mini-game inspired by the classic Zomberry Island, talk to the school bus driver on Home Island or find its map icon.

Almost exactly like the version that debuted in 2020, your task is to search for zombies among the dark cityscapes and blast them with your gun filled with pineapple slime antidote to rid them of their disease. But if you get too close, your fear meter will go up โ€” too high and you’ll have to restart the level. After three levels, you’ll win 1,000 credits!

To see how it’s done, check out this official playthrough video or our Zomberry Hero Guide from when the game first released. When in Poptropica, Covid’s got nothing on tainted blueberries!

While the latest Zomberry outbreak appears pretty similar to the previous, PHB reader Silver Horse noticed that some of the infected Poptropicans from the original game in 2020 are merely scene assets in 2022, making the game much easier with fewer actual zombies this time around. Some characters were also switched up, with new additions like Burt Diamond and Black Widow replacing others like Shark Boy. And as Dizzy Feather notes, some NPCs have had their dialogue cut.

Despite the two years that have elapsed since the first Zomberry Hero event, which promised a sequel, no new levels were added. Once again, upon completion, players will simply see “To be continued…”


Besides the return of this special event, we’ve got a few spooky season shindigs here on the PHB too: be sure to enter ourย Halloween costume contestย and make some art forย Community Creationsย andย Poptober.

๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ Now go be a Zomberry Hero! ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธ
